    the crof family

    February 4, 2011 /

    A brand new to bsquared family with two of the most adorable boys, ever! They chose a mini session to get some photos of their new baby boy at their new home. We had tons of snow outside, so heading out there was out of the question. But we had a great shoot indoors. With lots of cuddles and smiles.

    the rhod family

    February 3, 2011 /

    I’ve officially lost track of how many times I’ve photographed this family, who I adore! It’s been so fun watching the family grow (both in size and in age) and getting to know the kids better each shoot! Got to photograph the newest arrival after no less than 3 rescheduled sessions. Twice due to snow, once due to sickness (me & my diptheria- no, it really wasn’t diptheria but that’s what Patrick said it was). So Mr. M had to wait until he was 2 months old for his newborn picutres. Sorry, buddy! Hope it was worth the wait. And he peed on me, so I guess we’re even.

    The big man- D. He’s so delicious and funny and sweet. Even though we woke him up from a nap, I still got amazing smiles. Love this kid!Little Miss C. Can’t believe how much she’s grown already. Spunky and energetic to the max, this one. So happy with kisses from Daddy. Love the baby chub.  Great seeing you guys!! Can’t wait for the next shoot.

    getting bald for kids with cancer {St. Baldricks}

    February 2, 2011 /

    Jack & Patrick decided all on their own to participate in the St. Baldricks Fundraiser this year. For those of you unfamiliar, St. Baldricks is the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising program for childhood cancer research. The Foundation now funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government. Since 2000, events have taken place in 28 countries and 50 US states, raising over $87 million. More than 144,000 volunteers– including over 12,000 women– have shaved their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family – each one becoming a walking billboard for the cause! I’m so happy and so, so proud that they are doing it!!

    I loathe their shaggy hair (it’s never this long and yes, I do realize that it’s not really all that long), but I just have to keep telling myself its for a really good cause.

    Cause I know some people will ask, Jack is on the left, Patrick on the right.

    If you’d like to help out and donate to the cause, you can support the boys directly. Find their pages here:

    Jack’s page (it says John B.) http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/participantid/421571

    Patrick’s page: http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/participantid/421585

    And of course there will be pictures immediately before, during the shaving and the after effects posted here to the blog. They’ll be getting shaved on March 19th and the hair will be growing until then! Thanks so much for supporting the boys, they’ll be so happy to see any donations on their pages!

    RVC education foundation gala honorees

    February 1, 2011 /

    I’ve been asked to photograph the Gala again this year, which is always a great evening. This year’s honorees are all teachers in RVC who have put in many, many years of teaching and touched the lives of countless students. Their pictures and short bio’s will be in the local paper this week, but here’s a preview of their pictures.

    Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Birnbaum (who taught two of my three boys at Kindergarten readiness camp), and Mrs. Genovesi.

    The gala will be held on March 26th at 7pm at Hempstead Golf & Country Club. Would love to see you there (and for you to let me take your picture!). You can find more info on the gala and the foundation on their website HERE.
